This sums the #VENEZUELA situation up nicely:

For anyone questioning the legality of attacking Venezuela and abducting their leader:

Remember we're talking about a highly corrupt leader, a known criminal who used his high office to make billions for himself, and has manipulated elections to stay in power, has used his military against his own citizens, has protected his corrupt friends and punished his political enemies.

And the President of Venezuela did some bad things too.

I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

Wer wie Trump das Völkerrecht bricht und Präsidenten entführen lässt, der betreibt brutalen Staatsterrorismus! Bei völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskriegen darf nicht mit zweierlei Maß gemessen werden. Wer Putin sanktioniert, muss auch Trump sanktionieren! Die Bundesregierung muss sofort eine Verurteilung des US-Angriffes durch den Sicherheitsrat & die Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen starten!

Hören Sie bitte auf die Petition zu unterzeichnen! Es ist wichtig, dass wir allen in die Hose schauen und prüfen was da ist.

A graveyard in The Netherlands honors the fallen heros of World War 2 with plaques containing their names. But much to the bewilderment of of the Dutch, some of the plaques have been removed. An investigation shows, the Trump administration is behind the removal, and — surprise, surprise — the plaques removed was honoring black war heroes .

Rosa Parks just died a second time.

Huh. Right at midnight the Danish electricity tax dropped to basically zero. Instantly dropping the price of electricity by 0.12 euro per kWh.

It'll be interesting to see if this has a behavioral effect.

Feuerwerk ist für mich so ähnlich wie Geigenspiel: Wenn es Leute machen, die es beruflich tun, mag ich es. Wenn sie es nur einmal im Jahr machen, ist es der Horror.

'South Park' writers create parody website for Trump Kennedy Center after snagging the domain names. Logo has redacted Epstein file snippets

"Welcome to TrumpKennedyCenter.org

A national cultural center dedicated to legacy, loyalty, and the careful presentation of history.

​Here, tradition is preserved, narratives are curated, and performances are elevated beyond mere art. What is remembered matters. What is omitted matters more.

We invite you to experience culture as authority, pageantry as truth, and excellence as defined by those in power." #USPol

The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake

Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.

I still can't believe #Brave is a thing. There apparently are just people out there who are like "I'm frustrated by the corporate bullshit in Chrome, so I think I'll try this crypto scam made by a homophobe"

@isotopp warum nicht gestaffelte Fahrerlaubnis wie beim Motorrad? Also nach Leistungs/Masse Verhältnis.

Würde viele Probleme und auch finanzielle Desaster von jungen Männern verhindern.

💯 justified outrage about AI slop. Source https://bsky.app/profile/robpike.io/post/3matwg6w3ic2s
